THE

WHAT

The Power of Our Questions

Good Instruction(Keep it Simple…Keep it Real)

“We can, whenever and wherever we choose, successfully teach all children whose schooling is of interest to us. We already

know more than we need to do that. Whether or not we do it

must finally depend on how we feel about the fact that we

haven’t so far.” ~Ron Edmonds

HELPING STUDENTS DEVELOP UNDERSTANDING

Assessing for Conceptual Understanding (These are…These are not)

Suggestion from Research:

Open (begin) with the rigor…

…but rather than rigor…scaffold the experience for students to foster rigor with nurturing…

If you want a learner to

truly understand

and own essential

knowledge, expand your exploration

from ‘what it is’ to also ‘what it is

NOT’.

Rigor… with Nurturing!

A pilot wanted to know how many kilometers she flew on her last 3 flights. From NYC to London she flew 5,572 km. Then, from London to Beijing she flew 8,174 km. Finally, she flew 10,996 km from Beijing back to NYC. Round each number to the nearest thousand, then find the sum of the rounded numbers to estimate about how many kilometers the pilot flew.

Mrs. Smith’s class is learning about healthy eating habits. The students learned that the average child should consume about 12,000 calories each week. Kerry consumed 12,748 calories last week. Tyler consumed 11,702 calories last week. Round each to the nearest thousand to find who consumed closer to the recommended number of calories. Use pictures, numbers, and words to explain.

The cost of tuition at Cornell University is 43,000 per year when rounded to the nearest thousand. What is the greatest possible amount the tuition could be? What is the least possible amount the tuition could be?

A teacher asked her students to use estimation to decide if the sum of the problem below is closer to 4,000 or 5,000.

496 + 1,404 + 2,605 + 489 =One student replied that she thinks the sum is closer to 4,000. She used the estimation shown below to support her reasoning:

0 + 1,000 + 3,000 + 0 = 4,000Is the student’s reasoning correct? Use numbers and words o explain why or why not. If incorrect, explain a correct method.

Read carefully and follow directions. SHOW YOUR WORK.
